A wiki is a website in which the content can be edited by anyone, not just the creator of the site. Wikis are supposed to be simple and accessible so that all that levels of computer users can participate. Some wikis are open to the public, and others (like this one) are private and can only be edited by the members. Wikis are being used in education and the corporate world as a venue for collaborative works. Note - "Wiki" is Hawaiian for quick.
How are we going to use the podcasting wiki?
This space has been created to serve as a place where we can exchange ideas and collaborate outside of our regular meeting times. I'd like to encourage all of you to post away--this is an experiment to see how wikis/blogs could work for us. Share your experiences, resources, links, etc. that we can all benefit from!
Are there rules?
There are no rules! The more you edit and contribute, the more you will understand how to use the wiki and add to the collaborative experience. So post often! And watch the site--this is an experiment, so it will change often! Remember, it is possible to delete other people's contributions when you "edit" pages so please be respectful and make sure you do not inadvertantly delete other people's contributions.
